Welcome to LJs, Bobert, and congrats on your new saw. Depending on what type of lumber you deal with and what types of projects you build, you will get different responses. Certainly a planer and/or jointer can be essential pieces of equipment, depending on your needs. I would say that a bandsaw, router (possibly with a table), and some sort of sander (disc/belt/spindle) might also be considered.
